Know your Fragrant Wood Cuts
…cuts obtained from the surface of logs nor cut from smaller chips, if you obtain your material from respectable incense companies. Below, you can see an image of how the horizontal cross section that was sawed from a large agarwood log is being cut into shapes with the use of specialized cutting tools. The squares and fine cuts are achieved with the use of a chisel and a mallet. A proper set of these tools can cost up to $10,000 or more for a set…
What is Kyara or Kynam?
…ra is formed out of agarwood trees, or from agarwood is unknown. Given its complicated chemical and dynamic scent profiles, with more compounds than normal agarwood, including a very high sesquiterpene content, there are speculations. In Japan, its been speculated that recurrent or multiple infections at different time points over centirues could have caused kyara to be formed. The Chinese speculate that it could be bees making hives in agarwood t…
Philosophy of Chado – Tasting
…– easy to drink, comfortable, Soft – melts in your mouth feeling Lively – dynamic, energetic tasting Sandy – rough, gritty, like drinking a bowl of red bean soup Thick, thin, or sharp – feeling in the mouth 10) Layers Is the fragrance of the tea multi-dimensional? does the fragrance evolve from one to another during the drinking process of a single steep?

Perspectives on the Rikkoku Gomi
…hen burning agarwoods from different sources, different types, it is not uncommon to come across some agarwoods that are bitter, and astringent! Unfortunately I do not have the authority, nor the qualifications to start my own Ko-Do school, but if I do, I would canonize the seven tastes. And I would also include the Chinese understanding on how the tastes evolve, which is useful in the process of enjoying fragrances, and also how the tastes curb o…
Usage of Kynam or Kyara in the naming of modern Incense products
…re are some interesting products : This is a fine product from a Taiwanese company, with the words “Qi-Nan” in the product name, but it is made from Indonesian agarwood. Another “Kyara” incense for ten dollars? (when kyara is hundreds of dollars/gram?) Golden Kynam, the label says, but the contents are pretty much kalimantan agarwood or a mix, because the smell reminds me pretty much of Irian/Merauke agarwood “Kyara” Sinking Grade Incense. When…
Kyarazen Oud 1985
…led out a bottle of thick viscous liquid. My eyes glowed. “Agarwood oil 100%! No one has seen before!” Mr Lee proclaimed. Several staff of Mr Lee’s, having worked for him for decades, were also surprised. Mr Lee had never taken it out to show anyone, nor talked about its existence. One of his staff commented that I must be really fortunate to have been shown this, not even his closest staffs were ever given a chance. True enough, I had become…
Incense Review – Scents of the Edo Period
…and huge expensive of real musk, it is perhaps not surprising that incense companies may end up deciding to use a synthetic.Musk is an important component of incenses since ancient times if one refers to the formulas in chinese and japanese literature. Without musk, synthetic or real, it can be challenging for incenses to have a fuller body. I’m still debating with it myself whether I should use synthetic musk in my own incenses as it is more sust…
The Importance of Incense Stick Angle
…. At very high humidities, such as in Singapore where you can have an RH of 100% at night, fine incenses can smell a little muted, dull. Apart from turning on the air conditioner to dry the air and cool the air to about 25 degrees celsius before I sample an incense, it took quite some experiments to figure out the optimum burning angle for myself in such environmental conditions. There is no “hard and fast” rule to this due to weather fluctuations…
Incense Review – Translucent Path from Shoyeido
…f the Shokaku. The simplicity of this incense can be extremely delightful! Immediately upon lighting the stick now, I could pick out the clear kyara notes which remind me of that from green oil kyara, and the finer tastes like a light touch of sourness and bitterness within the very mellow and sweet smelling profile. Slow, consistent, the rising smoke is stoic, composed, focused and quiet, from a good distance it weaves between tangibility and int…
